It's clear that the Manager and the experience coaching staff sets up a game plan, tactics before very game, that's their job, but if the players don't follow it out or make mistakes like give the ball away that results in Goal or doesn't or can't play the ball quick enough or they don't play with heart and tempo or certain player that cost 45milion go missing, then all this is the Mangers fault, no not for me, you would be changing Managers every 6 weeks at a astronomical cost to the club, when the players cross the line it's their job to win a game of football or compete in a competitive way. These multi millionaire footballers are signed to the club they play for club player for the supporters play for their team mates, their should be 11 leaders on the pitch
If you sack a good Manager you will only replace him with another one that has failed at some other club at some other time .
Silva has a job to do it will take more than one season to sort this squad out, the players are what they are, not really up to the level of other premiership players, but the Manager can't come out and say this because they are valuable assets of the club, we need to recoup back the money invested in them.
It's hard being a supporter but that's nothing new when your not blaming the Manager your blaming the Chairman or the vise Chairmman or the tea lady.
It can spoil my weekend when we don't win and likewise Silva and let's not forget Furguson!
Big Duncan has been second in command for the previous 5 mangers, coaches the first team every day sit next to Silva every game but I never any criticism lodged towards him only to the Managers.

Fergus on is not second in command and hasn't been at any point under the previous regimes, he is simply a coach, a coach who goes out ov his way to help player who want to do extra training, a coach who shows up at academy games of all age groups because he wants to know who is coming threw and also offers advice to all the kids in the academy. People blaming him need to realise he isn't Silavas choice therefore doesn't have a whole lot of responsibility, I think we need him to have a larger role at the club not just be a coach as he knows his football and loves this club.
Turning on Duncan is just making u sound like an idiot, why dnt u blame the other coaches? The ones silva has brought in? Oh yeah that's right because u dnt have a name for them so cnt abuse them. Duncan ferguson bleeds everton and is a well respected coach.

Reality time now boys and girls wer in a terrible run absolutely horrible and it's more than likely going to get worse before it gets better but it will get better eventually might not be this year but it will farhad isn't stupid he's not throwing money away its in his interests to make us successful and I have faith he will do just that.

{Ed002's Note - THis demonstrates exactly the point I have been trying to make - the fans knowledge of the club seems worful - and the fans have now started on Ferguson because they know no better. Joao Pedro Sousa is the assistant first team coach - but I suppose no one cares.}

exactly ed they know his face so he's an easy target. is it Fergusons fault we can defend set pieces or would that be the defensive coaches? is it fergusons fault the players don't look fit enough to press for 90 mins or is it Pedro Conceicaos? Coming from a academy coach i no ferguson is very well respected right throughout the club. Do u have a personal opinion of dunc as a coach ed002?

{Ed002's Note - I really have no opinion at all of the coaches at Everton other than Silva.}

OK Ed thanks for response I was just hoping with your contacts you would have heard if he is good coach or not but for me he needs more responsibility not less.

{Ed002's Note - I really would not want to get in to that. Many of the fans will trash all of the coaches they no absolutely nothing about at all.}

Ferguson, worked hard at his badges, loves Everton and we love him. I too do not have an opinion on individual coaches, other than to say Silva did not do to well at his other two Premiership Clubs (my opinion) and is failing here after six months (appears to be a pattern rather than coincidence) . Did he bring the same coaches that were with him at the other two Prem Clubs, I wonder.

I haven't personally criticised Furguson, you all seemed to missed my point.

So ed2. Something is not right at our club. Is it the owner, chairman, the manager or the coaching. I suppose the owner has ultimate responsibility. Even the most die hard Everton fan must be struggling to find positives atm. In your infinite wisdom should We sack the manager or give him time?

{Ed002's Note - Why are the Everton fans so obsessed with blaming someone. The fans previously, and from a position of ignorance, caused such grief with the board such that no information was forthcoming. I explained that at the time, to no avail. I have explained over and over again since Silva was appointed that Moshiri was given bad advice by a third party. I have repeatedly said that buying Mina was a mistake, buying all available left wingers was a mistake and no giving Tosun a run was a mistake - that is the fault of Brands and Silva. Nothing has really changed Geoff. For now, ride the season out, look at the youngsters, look at the funds that can be raised from selling and the funds that can be contributed from "winnings" etc. (but remember with a lot more money required for the new stadium now that may not be as much as you think) and then make an informed and sensible decision. No more knee jerk reactions, no more overpaying on the likes of Mina to placate the fans, perhaps regroup - we'll see.}

Thanks ed. We are just a mess of a club atm. I think brands is a decent acquisition but we need to stop throwing money at a problem and maybe look at bringing youngsters through and see if we can't do a utd a la 92.

{Ed002's Note - Right.}

Johnny read my post again I haven't criticised anyone in my post, my point is that it is not always the Managers fault and to keep changing the Manager would be a big mistake and above all a costly one to the club and the players are what they are and maybe don't appear to up to the required level to follow out his game plan or tactics along with them making school boy errors.
